Reinventing SETI: Why Aliens Might Be Watching Us Now | Interview with John Gertz

Join host Chuck Fields on "Your Space Journey" for an eye-opening interview with John Gertz, author of "Reinventing SETI: New Directions in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence" (Oxford University Press, 2025).

As a SETI pioneer and founder of the Foundation for Investment in Research on SETI, John challenges outdated ideas like the Drake Equation and Fermi's Paradox, explains why we should search dying stars like white dwarfs for alien signals, and warns that humanity is dangerously unprepared for first contact.

Could intelligent aliens be machines already surveilling our solar system? Discover fresh perspectives on why traditional SETI has found nothing despite scanning billions of stars, the risks of messaging aliens (METI), and the need for global protocols through the UN.
